The Ultimate Itinerary

Day 1

AraArrival in Kathmandurival in Goa

On arrival at the international airport, you will be greeted by our local representative holding a “Mystic Moto Adventure” sign. A private taxi transfer brings you to your hotel, ideally located in the heart of Kathmandu. After check-in and time to freshen up, we meet for a detailed tour briefing at the hotel.
In the evening, we gather for a welcome dinner on the hotel terrace, enjoying traditional local cuisine along with panoramic views of the historic Boudhanath Stupa, one of Kathmandu’s most iconic landmarks. Depending on your arrival time, you may explore the lively neighborhood of Thamel at your own pace.

About Thamel: Thamel is Kathmandu’s energetic cultural and entertainment district. Its streets are lined with live-music bars, restaurants serving Nepalese and international food, artisan shops selling metalwork and jewelry, and retro-style cafés. Highlights include the beautifully designed Garden of Dreams and the pedestrian-friendly Mandala Street with boutiques, spas, and cafés. Thamel itself is a destination, offering something for every traveler.
Distance covered: Airport transfer

Day 2

Kathmandu to Bandipur

After an early breakfast, we depart Kathmandu by comfortable bus and drive approximately 100 km to Mugling, avoiding heavy city traffic. Here, our Royal Enfield motorcycles await us. We take time to get acquainted with the bikes and practice riding on Nepal’s left-hand traffic system.

The ride then begins along quiet, winding mountain roads toward Bandipur. Weather permitting, sweeping Himalayan views accompany us along the way. In the evening, we stroll through Bandipur’s beautifully preserved historic center before settling into one of the town’s finest heritage accommodations.
Distance covered: • 100 km by vehicle • 100 km by motorcycle

Day 3

Riding via Begnas Lake to Pokhara

Today’s ride follows narrow, lesser-known mountain roads toward the serene shores of Begnas Lake, Nepal’s third-largest lake, located in the southeastern Pokhara Valley. Parts of the route are unpaved, offering the first real riding challenge of the tour. We stop by the lakeside to enjoy the peaceful setting and have lunch before continuing onward to Pokhara. Known as one of Nepal’s most beautiful cities, Pokhara lies at the base of the Annapurna range beside Phewa Lake. Our hotel is located along Lake Road, close to the water. The afternoon is free to relax, take a rowing boat on the lake, or simply enjoy the mountain reflections. In the evening, Lake Road’s lakeside promenade comes alive with cafés and shops. Distance covered: Approx. 110 km

Day 4

Around Pokhara

A scenic loop ride takes us around Pokhara’s surrounding hills. We visit a Tibetan refugee settlement, ride up to the World Peace Pagoda, and stop at the impressive Shiva statue overlooking Phewa Lake. Along the way, small mountain roads offer spectacular views of the Annapurna massif. Back in Pokhara, there is time for souvenir shopping in local craft stores. The evening is perfect for enjoying Pokhara’s vibrant nightlife, with many bars offering live music and a relaxed atmosphere. Distance covered: Approx. 50 km

Day 5

The Himalayas Await: Pokhara to Kalopani

The journey north begins on a newly constructed road before narrowing into rugged mountain tracks. The route becomes increasingly steep, twisty, and challenging—marking the true start of our Himalayan adventure. We pass through landslide-prone areas and ride past dramatic waterfalls, particularly near the village of Ghasa. As long as weather conditions remain dry, the ride remains safe but demanding. Steep climbs, rocky surfaces, sand, and exposed sections dominate the day. Beyond Ghasa, the ascent toward Kalopani includes some of the steepest stretches of the tour. Near Kobang, the terrain eases, revealing breathtaking views of Annapurna, one of the world’s most challenging 8,000-meter peaks. We arrive in Kalopani at 2,505 meters and relax in a scenic guesthouse with views of two Himalayan giants. Distance covered: Approx. 130 km

Day 6

Annapurna & Dhaulagiri Giants

The morning ride is relatively gentle, with only a few exposed sections and occasional stream crossings. We pass through Jomsom, Mustang’s largest town, known for its dramatic airstrip nestled between steep rock walls. Leaving Jomsom, the terrain changes significantly as we navigate braided river channels and enter the heart of the Kali Gandaki Gorge, the deepest gorge in the world. The Kali Gandaki River separates Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, both towering over 8,000 meters high. The scale of the landscape is overwhelming. Our route continues to Muktinath, situated above 3,700 meters. Sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists, Muktinath is associated with Lord Vishnu and Guru Padmasambhava. Pilgrims bathe beneath 108 stone water spouts and in sacred pools believed to cleanse karma. We stay overnight in a cozy Tibetan-run hotel. Optional: If time permits, a challenging ride leads to a hidden high-altitude lake in a remote side valley. Distance covered: Approx. 100 km

Day 7

Exploring Mustang

We begin the day exploring Muktinath and its temple complex, where pilgrims and saffron-clad holy men gather against a backdrop of icy Himalayan peaks. Afterward, we visit the Tibetan-Buddhist monastery of Jharkot, perched above a quiet village. Continuing south, we pass through Kagbeni before riding to Marpha. Marpha is famous for its stone houses, narrow lanes, and deep Tibetan roots. Above the village stands a golden statue of Guru Rinpoche and a monastery that also shelters young monks. The day offers rare insight into Tibetan Himalayan culture. Distance covered: Approx. 60 km

Day 8

Tatopani Hot Springs

We follow the familiar route south, stopping at a settlement of Tibetan exiles who have lived here for generations, sustaining themselves through farming. By afternoon, we reach Tatopani. An optional challenging ride leads to a remote viewpoint overlooking the valley and river below, near a newly built Tibetan monastery set in complete isolation. Tatopani’s natural hot springs are ideal for relaxing tired muscles after days in the mountains. Distance covered: Approx. 50 km

Day 9

Nepal’s Longest Suspension Bridge

We ride toward Baglung, enjoying frequent tea and photo stops with sweeping views. Baglung is home to Nepal’s longest suspension bridge, dramatically spanning the Kali Gandaki River. Walking across the bridge offers excellent photo opportunities. The town also features a lively market, a Hindu temple, and optional activities such as bungee jumping. Overnight in Baglung. Distance covered: Approx. 60 km

Day 10

Siddhartha Highway to Tansen

Today we ride 130 km of winding mountain roads along the historic Siddhartha Highway, named after Prince Siddhartha Gautama. Endless curves and quiet stretches make this a rider’s dream. We reach Tansen, a charming hill town near the Indian border. Distance covered: Approx. 140 km

Day 11

Ride to Chitwan National Park

A long but rewarding ride of around 200 km takes us via newly built, lightly trafficked roads toward the lowlands near the Annapurna massif. The route passes farms, forests, and rural villages before reaching the Chitwan region. Distance covered: Approx. 200 km

Day 12

Jungle Safari in Chitwan

Established in 1973, Chitwan National Park is Nepal’s first national park and is renowned for its biodiversity. The day includes an elephant safari to spot rhinos, a visit to the elephant breeding center, and an optional canoe ride along crocodile-inhabited riverbanks. In the evening, we relax by the river or enjoy a campfire in the lodge garden.

Day 13

Return to Kathmandu

In the morning, we leave the motorcycles behind and travel back to Kathmandu by private minibus, avoiding traffic stress. The afternoon is free for independent sightseeing. You may visit Pashupatinath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, or the medieval city of Bhaktapur. In the evening, we enjoy a farewell dinner followed by live music to celebrate the journey. Distance covered: Approx. 150 km (transfer)
